After another press conference in which Juve’s manager was asked about signing a new deal, he has let his stance be known about that topic — again.

That is no surprise if you’ve followed Spalletti throughout his managerial career considering he’s always been one of the more reflective and thoughtful coaches in Serie A, giving you the kind of answers that certainly reflect Spalletti’s approach to the game.
Something Spalletti has been consistently asked about in recent weeks has been the status of his expected contract extension with Juventus, one that has been reportedly close to being finalized for more than a couple of weeks now. Naturally, that topic came up again during Saturday’s pre-match press conference — with Juve playing on Monday and Sunday being Easter, things were pushed up a day — and Spalletti sounded a little perturbed to have to talk about it once again. “I can’t understand why you’re so concerned about this,” the 67-year-old Spalletti said.
“From our perspective, our relationships, everything is fine, everything is in order. Priority must be given to the match against Genoa. There will be an opportunity in the next few days; things happen, and it can’t be done in an hour, even if you want to.
It’s something that has to come naturally. Not planning the match against Genoa properly is unnatural. ” View this post on Instagram There will be plenty of people who think he is deflecting any talk about his contract extension because they think it’s still tied to Juventus’ Champions League qualification.
